I have a condo in the SF Bay area and really just want to put some new floors down, and buy a couple of updated appliances. I couldn't get a HELOC from my credit union unfortuantely, because I have 1st time homebuyer loans from my state and city that are considered 2nd & 3rd mortgages. I'm wondering if a 203(k) might be a decent alternative. Specifically I'm curious about the interest rates, and whether or not refinancing my condo will constitute a sale and I'll lose Prop. 13 protection for the stated value of my condo and taxes. But any other info would be appreciated.

they're great but they lend on certain upgrades not all.
any lender that does FHA should be able to help you.

Interest rates are probably 7.25% and lower...probably to 6.5%
refinance will not constitute a sale.

many homeowners are taking out loans more than what the house is worth!
